Ugly looking font #173

Closed arkrost closed 8 years ago

arkrost commented 8 years ago

Hi!

I'm trying to use the following font FONT='-*-hack-*-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*'. It looks good in apps with xft support and in bar with xft patch applied. But if I set it directly this way, then it looks weird. Bitmap fonts (like terminus) in the oter hand look good.

Please suggest what can I deal with it.

Love it or leave it, just because it has a xfld descriptor it doesn't mean it'll be good looking w/O the Xft rendering
